If you’ve ever been to a gym, you’ve surely seen some painful characters that don’t follow proper gym etiquette and make you want to stay home. We have listed the 7 rules you need to follow to make the gym experience that much more enjoyable for you and your gym buddies. Here are 7 Things That You Should Never Do at The Gym.
Things That You Should Never Do at The Gym
Pressuring gym users
Using a machine for 60 minutes is rude, but so is standing with your arms crossed in front of a person exercising and giving them a “hurry” look.
Showing up late
Don’t be late for class. It doesn’t matter if it’s a group fitness class or a personal training session. This can distract the instructor and other members of the class. If you are late, at least make sure to interrupt the class as little as possible.
The gym locker room isn’t your personal bathroom
There is always that person who parades na**d around the room making others feel uncomfortable, and there are those who shave in the shower for hours and leave everything covered in foam and hair.

Don’t leave equipment sweaty
While there’s nothing wrong with sweating during exercise, wearing a workout towel is an important part of proper gym etiquette, as is wiping sweat off your equipment after use. Remember that most machines are covered in leather and your sweat won’t go away unless you wipe it off.
Don’t occupy equipment unless you’re using it
There are people who are just hanging around on equipment. They are texting on their phones, checking emails, taking selfies, or even taking a nap while there are others waiting to connect to that particular machine. If you are in the gym, you are there to exercise. Don’t forget that.

Calls and loudspeakers
Some of the most annoying people in the gym are those who have very long and loud cell phone calls during exercise.
Other annoying guys are those who like to play their music loud enough that others can even hear it through their own headphones.
Leaving weights everywhere
Another thing that you should have learned in childhood is that you shouldn’t leave your toys everywhere. The same rule applies in the gym: always put the weights back where they belong. Leaving them on the gym floor can cause someone to fall or be injured.
